I am going to replace the freshwater 180g that my reef currently resides in. I have already built a 40" tall stand to put it on.

Limitations are: must be reef ready, must be 72"-73" L, must between 24" - and 31" Wide, and I would really like starfire glass front and no center brace.

I would like to keep it under $1500

So far Glasscages is the best I've found http://www.glasscages.com/?sAction=OrderForm&sProdID=AQ_240Tall6. A 180 w/starfire front reef ready with black silicon and 4ea bulkheads comes to like $1143.

Suggestions?


Thanks

I like the real deep (front to back) tanks. The other 240 they have listed sounds alot nicer to me. It's only 25 tall but front to back it's 30, I think it would make a lot nicer reef tank.
